Or does it bring out inner desires, fantasies, or behavior that may never have manifested if not for abusing meth? Was it always there or could it be possible that it changes a person to be...

I myself an addict have done countless detoxes and 6 residential rehabs.

My son is addicted to cocaine. If he will agree to get help, what is our first step? Do I take him to a doctor? He has insurance. I think there is an outpatient drug place in town. I just don't know how to get the ball rolling. Thank you
